Phil and Joe, Thanks for the replies. It is a major problem, and didn't want to 'escalate' to the sledge too quickly. Didn't think to look in the FAQ's, was a good article. From the reading / research I've done, removing the tilt tube separates the motor from the boat, correct? And I'll say, applying heat to the tube has me concerned, not much clearance between the hull and the motor. The boat is a 1987 13' SuperSport; owing to the amount of time I have been spending with the boat, there is not enough room on the stern to name it Mistress, but FWB will fit. Thanks again for the replies!
